by | Aug 27, 2026 | Quick Tips

Record Your Screen Easily with Microsoft Clipchamp

Need to create a quick tutorial, training video or team update? You may be surprised to learn that Windows already includes a simple tool that can help.

Microsoft Clipchamp isn’t just a video editor. It also includes a built-in screen recording feature that allows you to capture your screen, record your webcam and edit your content, all from one application.

Create Screen Recordings in Just a Few Clicks

Getting started is simple.

Open Clipchamp and select Record & Create. From there, you can choose whether you’d like to record:

  • Your screen only
  • Your screen and webcam together

If you’re presenting a tutorial, software demonstration or training session, adding your webcam can help create a more personal and engaging experience.

Record Exactly What You Need

Clipchamp gives you flexibility over what you record.

You can capture:

  • An individual browser tab
  • A specific application window
  • Your entire screen

This makes it ideal for a wide range of business uses, including:

  • Employee training
  • Customer tutorials
  • Software demonstrations
  • Internal team updates
  • Process documentation

Edit and Share Quickly

Once you’ve finished recording, Clipchamp takes you straight into the editing environment.

You can:

  • Trim unwanted sections
  • Adjust audio levels
  • Add captions and effects
  • Export your finished video in just a few minutes

Because recording and editing are combined in a single tool, there’s no need to install separate software or learn complicated video production techniques.

Perfect for Modern Businesses

Video has become one of the most effective ways to share information. Whether you’re training staff, helping customers or communicating with your team, Clipchamp makes video creation accessible to everyone.

If you’re already using Windows and Microsoft 365, you may already have everything you need to start creating professional-looking video content today.

By the close of the working week, even careful professional teams are stretched thin, and that is exactly when AI-generated work slips through unchecked. The output looks board-ready, so a tired reviewer approves it without a second read. For regulated firms, that quiet moment of over-trust is a genuine compliance risk.
